Q: In doing some research I came across Zenatech (ZENA). It seems to have gone public very recently. I was wondering if you could give your thoughts on the potential of this company and exactly what they do. Is it a decent higher risk investment with some potential or would higher risk dollars be better deployed elsewhere?
Thank you as always for the great service you provide.

Q: Thanks for the great service over the years. I would like to know your opinion on these two companies and what each of their possible futures look like as the Ai craze and other chip needs keep them in the headlines. If you had to own 1 for the next 5-10years which would you pick and why? I have in the past owned NVDA bought & sold successfully. I currently hold GOOG and AMD with AMD being a bit of a let down so far. Side note if you are interested in a good read or audio book the coming wave by mustafa suleyman has been very eye opening and is a factor in me relooking at these two companies.

Q: Hello Team,

I currently do not have any pure dividend stocks and I'm looking at purchasing one to start. I did a bit of research and came up with the above list, are you able to rank them in order plus add your 2 favorites into the list (if they are not already included). Looking at a minimum of a 6% yield with the possibility of say a 30% return over the next 3-5 years. (setting my goals high). Thanks!

Q: Let us say we have 2 companies, one called "ABC" and one called "ABC Dividend" which pays 4% over the year. At the end of the year, the dividend one would be down because of the dividend it paid for the previous 12 month period but you would have the dividend money.

ABC at the end of the year would be higher because it did not drop because it did not pay a dividend.

To me, I see that a dividend really does not benefit you. Why do people want dividend stocks so much when the example I used shows there is no benefit? Thank you.

Q: Hi, could you please rate these companies for a riff account. My goal would be dividend, growth and stability in down market. I have money for one company. (Would buying U.S. be beneficial?)
Fell free to add your favourite stock for my goals.
Thanks

Q: Reviewing all your input on this stock, was wondering if you could share your take on the TD summary of analyst ratings (5) where three (3) are suggesting it is a "sell" while two (2) rank it as a "hold", average target price being $33.04 while today it is trading at $35.83!
Am I missing something here. Appreciate all you excellent support.
Ted.

Q: Hello
There seems to be interest in this ETF here and on BNN market call.

The price chart now being at pandemic low price catches my attention

I tried to access manager commentary but it was locked. Are you able to comment on what has driven such a poor price performance and whether the financial environment we are entering in the USA is favourable for this ETF?

We’d all like 9% yield but a waste of time if the price drops more.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Dave

Q: I hold many of the mag 7 and a few other upcoming AI names in my TFSA and feel i am quite exposed in that area. What ETFs would you recommend for diversifying my portfolio to avoid doubling up? Thanks

Q: I hold these ETF's in a RESP account and just wonder if all these ETF are different enough to own? Also would be be good to own XAW in the RESP account. Money is not needed for 10 years.

Thanks

Q: I see that Fidelity Global Innovators Fund (FINN) shows a very high return over the past year. Could you please provide some commentary/information on holdings, yield, how they have achieved such a annual high return, outlook, and what the risks are of owning this fund. Thank you.
